Tag Archives: salted caramel

I didn’t used to be a macaron fan. In fact, I rarely go ga-ga over macarons now. But I do appreciate them better now because I know how much work and ingredients go into making them. You really need to see the amount of work and ingredients needed to understand why they cost so much.

I love apple pies but often find them too sweet. This recipe is inspired by Four & Twenty Blackbird’s apple pie where they layer salted caramel between apple slices to give it a more “adult” taste. The part I enjoy most about making this pie is the caramel – with a little patience, it’s amazingly easy to make your own caramel. Rather than cover the top with a full crust or make a lattice top, I decided to cover the top with round disks of crust instead so it’s … I don’t know … cuter?
